Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 192434, member: 837"] I'm sure I'm one of those considered a 'whiner' but it has nothing to do with the move itself, which had to be made. It's the way of the world. My point is more that I'm not sure many folks -- on this board or those making conference alignment decisions -- realize how rare it is to build what the Big East built in football nor how cool it is to play that conference tourney in NYC and actually have NYC care about it to some degree. That recognition means something -- to recruits, boosters, advertisers, etc. We had to make the move and I'm sure it will be fine. I just generally think the blatant disregard for geographic location is a mistake long-term even though under the guise of 'picking up markets' (a completely BS notion to begin with) is what is driving the contracts today.
